    Not uncommon for brand new plugs to be defective - found it quite a bit when I was working in the shop.

    ALWAYS swap the plugs around to a working cylinder as well as the leads when you are chasing these types of gremlins. Just because you can get a spark on a plug outside the cylinder doesn't mean it will fire when it's in the chamber.
    Current:
    Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)

    Past:
    VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
    And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

        thanks, it's been a long weekend call sucks just anticipation of getting called in drives me bonkers then the bike running like a$$ also does. This all started because the gas mileage sucked resulting in a complete carb rebuild, which caused all O rings to be replaced, guess it was a blessing in disguise, there is always a silver lining right????

        here were my non existent orings
        no wonder my gas mileage sucked and I was losing gas somewhere and it would never idle
